Highlights of Aberdeen v Rangers in the Scottish Premiership

Rangers have launched an appeal against Ryan Jack's red card in their 2-1 weekend win at his old club Aberdeen.

The midfielder was sent off in the second half of the match at Pittodrie after a challenge with home player Stevie May.

Although the 25-year-old won the ball first, he then connected with May's ankle in the same movement and the striker went off injured soon after.

The Scottish Football Association confirmed it received notification from Ibrox ahead of the 3pm deadline to appeal on Monday.

Jack has now been sent off four times for Rangers following his summer move from Scottish Premiership runners-up Abderdeen.

He had only been red carded three times in his senior career prior to his switch to Ibrox, with one of those coming against his current team last season.

Jack has had two of his three previous dismissals - against Hibernian and Kilmarnock - successfully overturned on appeal.

If his red card stands on this occasion, he will serve a three-match ban and miss games this month with Ross County, Hibernian and St Johnstone.
